There may be precedence of using private email accounts in government, but I don't know of anyone having their own hardware system at their private residence.
Using accounts at google still allows subpoenas to be issued to the ISP such that data can be retrieved from archives, even if the user has deleted them.
Quite frankly, I'm not concerned about Hillary's email to other .gov addresses. I'm sure they're benign. I'm also sure she knows when something is classified. As a Secretary of State, if you wanted to hand off something classified, what better way to do it than in person through the old diplomatic pouch? I mostly discount any "spy" angle here.
But I do not discount the "pay to play" angle here.
The first question of "why?" is still unanswered. Why establish an entire system at home when you can just rent your own webspace from any ISP? Was this because they thought it was cheaper to maintain that hardware themselves? The only feasible reason for this is concealment. You do not have to be a paranoid person to see this.
One thing worth concealing would be "pay to play" arrangements. Hence, I can't help but wonder what policy was manipulated based on donations and what evidence there would be of that on their system.
It'd be easy for her to solicit donations in person and use the private system for subsequent communication. One question not asked at the press conference was if she had any communication with people outside of the country on her private email.
Of course, if she answered in the negative and a subsequent forensic analysis of her system proved the contrary, she'd be in a bit of trouble. However, since she actually owns the hardware, that hardware could be destroyed almost as easily as emails could be deleted. You can bet that all the hard drives and memory on those systems have been replaced by now. A perfect cover up.
Finally, since it is her own system, we are left to take her at her word that there was no email contact with administration officials solely on .gov accounts. I find it hard to believe that there was never any correspondence to the private accounts of other officials especially since, in her own words, "everyone had personal accounts".
And God only knows, what Bill is keeping hidden.
There used to be a bumper sticker out there that said “Question Authority”.
Hillary has a new one that says “Trust Us!”.
That is the sole reason the hardware was within their reach. Premeditated intent to destroy evidence of wrong doing.
Criminal class “leaders”.
But there are still other parties with that information....and so, should HRC be elected President, the potential for her to be blackmailed is astronomic.
Yes...but how does she know some hackers or computer geeks at the ISP didn’t get access?
Since the server is no longer in use, what is she using for personal/private email now?
Lying witch.
There's no other intent using unsecure e-mail than attempted treason with careless disregard.
COMPLETELY rigged so called “press” “conference”.
VERY SHORT, to limit questions.
Pre-scripted answers she read off paper.
Selected reporters from group.
Television cameras shunted from seeing her reading cheat notes.
Television cameras shunted from seeing reporters.
All fake, PR stunt.
The only other parties with that information would be such parties as may have hacked her system. (Most likely foreign governments.)
I dare say she is more concerned about our own government's response to her e-mails than she would be from any foreign government's response to them.
But yes, she could have been very well subjected to blackmail, but I will point out that Hillary Clinton has never struck me as a "rocket science" level of intellect. She's about as dumb as they come.
I think she just takes precautions because she has a felonious soul.
Paging Mr. Snowden. Mr. Snowden? Those emails are out there somewhere.
I believe the server is still in use, according to different reports. It’s not clear that it is still the exact same hardware.
On Morning Joe today Howard Dean said he thinks it was a good idea for Hillary to keep her state Dept work related emails secret from the government, cant make this stuff up
n my previous life when I was designing Information Systems, it was standard corporate policy to record and archive all incoming emails regardless or origination. Seems this is also the policy of the State Department IT “professionals”. I wonder why no one has mentioned those archived emails? Hmmmmm......
Just because Hillary won the national document shredding championship back when she played for the Rose Law Firm, you shouldn’t be suspicious now...
And the party she was corresponding with.
Quite interesting. Hopefully someday we learn more, but I’m not optimistic. Compared to Arkancides this is kid stuff, and we’ve never seen anything profound on them.
It’s name is clintonemail.com, not clintonmail.com.
“archive all incoming emails “
They do that and Hillary said that’s why she sent email FROM private account to GOV account in order to preserve records.
However there would be no record of email coming from private accounts to her private account.
So if Obama was the one initiating an email from HIS private account, did Hillary say “I won’t reply to this until you send it from your gov account”.
Not likely.
